Building better pathways

We’ve been consulting with the building industry to understand how micro-credentials or smaller qualifications could be useful to help businesses and the workforce thrive.

We’re dedicated to building pathways for a more robust, skilled construction industry. In December 2024 we invited industry leaders, educators, and passionate professionals—to provide feedback on proposed micro-credentials that could help construction businesses, and the workforce thrive.

Thank you for your contribution, your insights will help ensure the workforce is equipped to meet today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.
